“A ship is safe in harbor, but that’s not what ships are for.” ― John A. Shedd
„The dogs bark, but the caravan goes on.” (Proverb)
Let’s say you want to ride a motorcycle.
You evaluate the chances of an accident; then you take some lessons, you take your driver’s license, you buy a bike, and you drive carefully.
Yes, accidents of motorcyclists are happening with a higher percentage. But if you take all the precautions, you can stay confident.
You have polyps (definition: Polyps are tissue growths that most often look like small, flat bumps or tiny mushroom-like stalks. Most polyps are small and less than half an inch wide.). You decide to have surgery.
Yes, some complications can appear, but if you are well-informed prior to the procedure, you can be confident.
In a lot of situations, you need to take a leap of faith. You don’t know exactly where you’ll land, but if you don’t take any chances at all, most likely, you’re making a worse decision than when taking some calculated risks.
